A Lesson Learned

In the last post about the summer reading program I chided the purple reading team for a slow start, but times and totals have certainly changed. Purple now has a lead on the rest of the teams with 21,859 total minutes, green remains towards the top with 19,587 minutes, yellow has 16551.5 minutes, and blue claims last place at 14,610.5 minutes. The lesson I learned since the last post was to not be hasty in counting teams out. Thus, I won’t say anything about the blue or yellow teams and their totals. I know everyone is reading hard and doing their best to squeeze reading into busy summer schedules. Also, many adults amass minutes and wait until later to turn those in. So if you’re hoarding minutes please turn them in so we can keep the updates as accurate as possible.

The combined hours read as of Monday (6/22) morning is 1210.13. The library staff is looking forward to seeing the new totals by the end of the week because we would like to see the combined reading surpass 3,000 hours. That will be quite a jump from the current total but to be on pace to hit the goal of 8,000 minutes we need a big week.

Thanks for all your efforts so far and keep up the good work! Check back for an update at the end of the week!
